Rubén Iranzo leaves Valencia Club de Fútbol and signs for Real Zaragoza
Defender Rubén Iranzo has left Valencia Club de Fútbol and will join Real Zaragoza on a free transfer, according to Superdeporte. The agreement includes a three-season contract at La Romareda, with Valencia Club de Fútbol retaining a percentage of any future sale. Iranzo, born in Picanya, is leaving his boyhood club for the first time in his career.
What happened with Iranzo's exit?
Iranzo sought a move last season when Celta Promesas made an offer, but Valencia Club de Fútbol blocked the transfer due to a shortage of defenders. This time, however, the club has accepted his departure. The player will see limited game time at Valencia Club de Fútbol, which finished the 2025 season in 14th place in La Liga with 35 points (9 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses).
Why it matters for Valencia Club de Fútbol
Iranzo's departure reflects Valencia Club de Fútbol's need to restructure its defense. With 46 goals conceded last season, the team is looking to strengthen its defensive line. Although Iranzo had limited playing time, his versatility as a center-back and full-back made him valuable.
What's next for Iranzo at Zaragoza?
At Zaragoza, Iranzo will join a team with the clear goal of promotion to the Segunda División. The defender will travel to Aragón in the coming days to complete his signing. With a three-season contract, Iranzo will aim to become a key player for the team.
